I'm a DC transplant from the Heart of Dixie. I'm all for life, liberty, and the pursuit of the Oxford comma.

Trump at the court as crowd chants “vote him out” — it’s rare for this President to see his opposition this up-close and in-person

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

Pres Trump: I am signing the first-ever executive order to affirm that it is the "official policy of the United States Government to protect patients with pre-existing conditions."

Fact: The Affordable Care Act signed by Pres Obama made covering pre-existing conditions U.S. law.

Hey @Macys—I still have not received a package that was due 8/7. I apparently have no way to contact customer service, only browse FAQs. Please help here.

Has COVID-19 forced you to wear glasses and a mask at the same time?

If so, you may be entitled to condensation.

[Summer @summah]

@amandakater I highly recommend Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by @LoriGottlieb1 and In Five Years by @RebeccaASerle — both affected me tremendously.

Thanks for shining a light on rhyming and ablaut reduplication, @MadamGrammar! I'm super-duper excited to have my personal grammar knowledge in tip-top shape 🤓 #GrammarArcana #ACESonline2020

[Summer @summah]

Talking 'bout transitive verbs during #ACES2020online with @MadamGrammar, and I'm reminded of @KoryStamper sharing her test for determining if a verb is transitive: Can it be substituted here: "I'ma _________ ya ass." Yes? Boom -- transitive.

@zennioptical I was actually referring to the hard plastic glasses CASES. Any chance y’all can reuse those?

[Summer @summah]

@zennioptical I have sooo many hard glasses cases that I no longer need (I have other storage for all my glasses). Is there a way I can return these to y’all to be reused?

[Tom Brokaw @tombrokaw]

cost starting NOW, report real progress twice a day. no more cheap shots or baseball cap slogans

[Peter Alexander @PeterAlexander]

I offered both Pres Trump and VP Pence an opportunity to reassure Americans.

Simple question: “What do you say to Americans who are scared?”

Trump, to me: “I say, you’re a terrible reporter.”

Pence, an hour later: “Don’t be afraid. Be vigilant.”

Distinguishing "lay" from "lie"
is knowledge worth great wealth:
Lay takes an object,
while lie keeps to itself.
